North Carolina has a state law that says all used toilert paper must be put in the toilet and flushed. Well duh.
Another law they have is that in order for me to have an NC drivers license, I have to have insurance even though I don't own a car.
What's the weirdest/strangest laws you've ever heard of?

In Frankfort Illinois it is a class 4 misdeamor to spit phlem on the sidewalk. It is ok to spit the same phlem on the grass or lawn, just can't on the sidewalk. This law has been in existance since 1800's

Well, of course I wouldn't want to change the trash can and find out there was used toilet paper in there, it would be unsanitary, eww, gross!
Plus, if I were driving someone else's car I would be glad that I had insurance to at least cover damage to the car and medical bills in case I got into an accident.
You can never be too prepared.

Go to bored.com. I think they have a link on where you can look up some of the weirdest laws ever created in every state. All of them are hilarious. I remember one law: It is illegal to hunt whales in Tennessee.
Yeah, I think only at Seaworld!
Haha! lol! Deet-dee-dee!

I'm not sure how weird or strange this is and some people probably consider this a very just law...but I guess there's a law on the books in the state of Michigan where adultery can be considered a first degree felony - sexual conduct...and punishable by up to life in prison. Highly unlikely it would be carried out, but it's still there.

In my hometown of Cleveland OH all elephants traveling by night must have rear lights on. I really havent seen any yet.
Also in Saco, MO it's against the law for women to wear hats that may frighten children or animals. I'm guessing that was a problem at one time.

It's illegal to wear a zoot suit in Los Angeles.
This dates back to WWII, when zoot suits were popular but the fabric was needed for the war effort. Wearing such a suit was considered to be disrespectful, at best, to the American war effort. And they just never took the law off the books.

It is illegeal to fish for whales in Kansas. Umm... hello no oceans any where near Kansas. And also you can't eat cherry pie on Sunday in Kansas. Obviously not a punishable offense anymore but still a dumb blue law.

It used to the Texas Blue Law, incorporated by church's. Mall's where closed, you couldn't even by a hammer on Sunday's. They have since revised it. Now you can't buy alcohol before noon. Remember when it used to DWI and they changed it DUI so you can get arrested even if your riding a bike.

There is a law in New Orleans that says that you can't bathe your donkey in your bathtub on Sunday.
If you are looking for wierd laws, look to Louisiana. It is the only state that has Napoleonic law. ...which means that every single law is written down.

In MD only missionary sex is allowed, if you do any other position you can be arrested... of course this law is only in books and is not imposed. I wonder what would happen if they impose this law. My guess is that the entire MD would be declared a jail house lol.
